Some of my favorites in here too: Lord of the Rings trilogy, The Mummy series (Ooh yes! Brendan Fraser! AHEM!), Pirates of the Caribbean (Mmmm... Johnny Depp AND Orlando Bloom! Yes indeedy!), and Home Alone. Haven't seen the others.
There are a lot more too. I also love the older Mel Brooks movies (Young Frankenstein, Blazing Saddles, The Producers); Airplane and The Naked Gun; most older Disney movies (especially Dumbo and Mary Poppins), etc. And there are some I can't even think of right now - escapes my mind.
